While on Broadway, acclaimed actress, singer, talk show host, and now author, Keke Palmer, invited underprivileged girls, from the Bronx and Queens NY, to see her star in the musical, Rodgers & Hammerstein’s Cinderella. Palmer was the first African American actress to play Cinderella on Broadway and she wanted to share this experience with these young women.
This opportunity for the young girls to watch their first Broadway musical with Keke Palmer in the leading role as the iconic Cinderella, was such an awesome experience that it launched into an amazing program! Saving Our Daughters Cinderellas Program! This multi-cultural program reaches out to young teens in an effort to encourage them to pursue their dreams. Following in Keke Palmer’s footsteps, other Hollywood actors/actresses are giving their time and insight to the girls in the areas of: performing arts, dealing with bullying, even becoming mentors for the Saving Our Daughters Cinderellas program.
“The opportunity to see Keke in Cinderella, someone that looked like me, gave me hope, said Danielle (from Madison Square Boys & Girls Club). In the days after the show, I felt myself walking a little taller, smiling more and reflecting on my time I got to meet Keke Palmer, a girl like me.”
